But this may affect the way the date is displayed, not the UTC?

Thanks for the tip. I have added it to my profile.

I have read too rtc(3) and cons(3).

And I wonder if somewhere I have a:

cat /dev/rtc >/dev/time

because it seems that it uses timezone in between to convert the value
passed according to the timezone, hence, with an rtc in UTC, it
substracts 7200 according to my CEST timezone...
